In 1709, on the eight of July, 17,000 exhausted and starving Swedes marched in lines against the Russian army of nearly 70,000 well-supplied soldiers. The fields, hills and swamps around Poltava turned into a devastating bloodshed where more than 10,000 people lost their lives. Poltava was the first meaningful victory that Russia could achieve during the Great Northern War (1700-1721) and spelled the beginning of the end for Carolean dominance on the battlefield. When such a large part of the army was killed or captured, Sweden could not win the war. But the thousands of Swedes who gave their lives in the battle of Poltava will not be forgotten. Despite that they knew death was near, they fought on to the bitter end...Band: SabatonSong: "Poltava" (Swedish version)

History

It is still unknown when Poltava was founded, although the town was not attested before 1174. However, for reasons unknown, municipal authorities chose to celebrate the city's 1100th anniversary in 1999. The settlement is indeed an old one, as archeologists unearthed a Paleolithic dwelling as well as Scythian remains within the city limits.

It is widely believed to have been the beginning of Sweden's decline as a Great Power, as the Tsardom of Russia took its place as the leading nation of north-eastern Europe. The battle also bears major importance in Ukrainian national history, as HetmanIvan Mazepa sided with the Swedes, seeking to create an uprising in Ukraine against the tsardom.

Prelude

Charles XII had led Swedish forces to early victories in North Zealand (summer 1700) and in the Battle of Narva in November 1700. However, it would take six years before he defeated Augustus II of Saxony-Poland. Peter I withdrew from Poland in the spring of 1706, and offered to surrender all of his Baltic possessions to Sweden except St. Petersburg, but Charles refused. Peter subsequently adopted a scorched-earth policy in order to deprive the Swedish forces of supplies.

Charles' subsequent march on Moscow ended with the dismemberment of the Swedish army at Poltava and Perevolochna, and he spent the following years in exile in the Ottoman Empire before returning to lead an assault on Norway, trying to evict the Danish king from the war once more in order to aim all his forces at the Russians. Two failed campaigns concluded with his death at the Siege of Fredriksten in 1718. At the time, most of the Swedish Empire was under foreign military occupation, though Sweden itself was still free. This situation was later formalized, albeit moderated in the subsequent Treaty of Nystad. The close would see not only the end of the Swedish Empire but also of its effectively organized absolute monarchy and war machine, commencing a parliamentarian government unique for continental Europe, which would last for half a century until royal autocracy was restored by Gustav III.

Sabaton - Poltava (Lyrics English & Deutsch)

The Swedish defeat under Charles XII (Carolus Rex) against the Russians under Tsar Peter the Great at the Battle of Poltava is considered the decisive turning point in the Great Northern War.
After Charles was able to temporarily defeat Denmark-Norway (1700) and Saxony-Poland (1706), he marched towards Moscow with 60,000 men in spring 1707 to eliminate the last remaining war opponent. In order to distract the Swedes from the direct route, TsarPeter scorched anything that might serve as supplies and finally Charles was forced to move southwards, to Ukraine. Countless assaults and the particularly severe winter of 1708 to 1709 decreased the strength of the Swedish army to less than 30,000.
The Russians gathered their forces near the town of Poltava, which was besieged by the Swedes. In a ...
